Today, Quoc and I got to present Sister Thuy and the school with the proceeds of our silent auction held on September 11th.
1,235USD were donated today!
The children line up according to grade. Many are much smaller then you would expect for their age. When we first arrived, many just wanted to speak English and say, "HI!"...
The school is 20 years old.
The children sang us a "Thank You" song...
English class..
This sign shows the teachers name on the left and teh grade level on the right. Mot = 1, Hai = 2, etc... the number of children (hs) is next to it. Imagine 44 first graders...
and they are very well behaved.
The middle schoolers are working on craft items today. They sell these to make money for the school as well as sell at our Charity Bazaar. They are very cute little bead ornaments, jewelry, etc. Sister Thuy is so proud of their work, as are teh students.
Many students attend during the morning hours and have a school provided lunch. Then either back home to work, or they have training at the school. Sister Thuy teaches the boarding students (16 girls) everything from simple household organization, cooking, cleaning, and caring for themselves.
Middle schoolers sewing the school uniforms. They are learning this trade while earning money.
Some of the graduating students have gone on to University we were told today! without Anh Linh Love School, none of these kids would have had a chance.....
Raising their hands
Remind me why I thought I wouldn't like Vietnam... Okay.. the jury is still out about some things...
That said, I am so grateful to be here!
